MARCY&MYBBIES: Cian is knda derpy, but as stated, obvs she likes it. Ivan thinks Marmar is possibly an actual goddess. Like, the vengeful 'will rip your still-beating heart from your chest and not feel bad about it', ancient and powerful and not-to-be-fucked-with kind. And he wants to paint her. Evan is kind of cynical and she is also a grad student with three children under 5 and has been a single parent for the last two years, which is all to say that she exists mostly on caffeine and stress, so she might also like marcy because, yanno, coffee goddess

SHAKETT IS A DELIGHT

ANDREJ&CAROLINE: That sounds DELIGHTFUL, esp since, as stated above, Andrej collects tiny adorable little sister-types. He's a big sweetheart, all quiet and soulful and I think that they'd be good friends. Yes

EDEN&CIAN: I think it'd be kind of funny for Eden to try to mother hen Cian, because Cian's very much a mother hen himself. I could see him like on the first day they worked together being like "LET ME PULL OUT MY PHONE TO SHOW YOU PICTURES OF MY CHILDREN"

Yes, please! She would totally be there to help set up - as much as she could, being pregnant and all - and do all the things because she has this fear of letting her kids down. Ya know? Maybe a springtime carnival near Spring Break? Or something?</li>

Evan and Shane: finally a woman that may actually kick Shane's ass. Considering what he's put her friend Devin through I'd expect a lot of anger to be coming Shane's way from Evan and I'd be surprised if it didn't last a while yet. Who knows, I could be way off base!

Ivan and Shane: I can see these two actually working together on a job somewhere. Shane may be a ring-in if Ivan comes up short and needs another set of hands. They can get to know each other that way and see what comes of that. Mebbe?

Shane and Shane: This Shane would find that Shane a source of amusement no doubt, probably because in a few ways they may be more alike without caring to admit it. And let's face it, a Shane thread tagging another Shane is just screaming to be done!

Cian and Shane: Not 100% sure. Nothing stands out at the moment. A random encounter could lead them down a path we can't see yet, again, who knows?

Audrey and Shane: Possible awkwardness. He's not vocal unless pissed off about something and she's uber shy. Would be a quiet affair without others present to prompt them. Stranger things have happened though.

Andrej and Shane: Bros. Maybe? Then again Andrej looks like he takes care of himself... so when Shane eventually manages to recover his head from his backside he may need someone to get him back into working out and looking after himself. Because frankly men working out together is hawt (and good excuse to vent/bond, etc) >.>

Alix and Shane: This is 50/50. They could be friends or enemies really depending on the situation. Maybe if they were friends enough some playful bagging. Maybe they avoid each other like the plague, I am drawing a blank there.

HI. SO. I'm replying to both your post here and in mine because why not.

EVAN/SHANE: Evan says she's too tired to muster more than a very stern look at Shane, much less kicking his ass. I feel like Evan would be like "what the fuck, shane. fuck's sake." I think that would be her intitial reaction though. I feel like she'd get angrier the more it sank in that Shane was just gone. I'm not entirely sure, tbh. I think mostly they'd be fun to thread because. they would.

IVAN/SHANE: tbh you could suggest Shane kicking Ivan's ass in a barfight and I'd be down with it because Ivan needs more interaction. I like your idea better, though. I think it could be very interesting to have Shane come in on a job Ivan's doing, and maybe they get along? Mostly they should thread. -nod-

SHANE/SHANE: YES YES YES IF YOU WANT TO START IT I WOULD LOVE YOU TO PIECES.

CIAN/SHANE: idk? Cian is also a physical therapist now, so like. If Shane gets an injury of some sort, Cian might treat him? Or like. Dad things, bc Cian loves his babies more than life itself, and Shane is a dad, too.

I don't actually have Audrey anymore. I forgot to take her off my plotter. D:

ANDREJ/SHANE: Andrej would be a bro. He'd drag Shane out into the woods for a hike, because nature is good for you and dirt is good for you and Shane seems like he could use a little good-for-you in his life. Andrej is also the least judgmental character I have, so if anyone would be understanding about Shane leaving, it would be him.

ALIX/SHANE: I honestly don't know. Alix is kind of a wildcard. She'd be harder to predict. It'd def be interesting though, if you wanted to try to toss them in together.

Evan: Ready when you are. I figure once Devin lets her inner circle know Shane’s darkened her doorstep out of the blue again we’re good to start threading. Either Evan would be at Devin’s for support and find Shane lingering in the periphery because… well he’s a lost puppy (Sam W’s “I lost my shoe”) at the moment, or it may be a random chance encounter somewhere else. But yes I see these two crossing paths at some point and like the Devin/Shane thing we can let the scenes play out organically. Happy to do so.

Ivan: Being a guy with their fickle behavior, these two are likely to beat each other up of a weekend and be work-buddies during the weekday. Because that’s how man deal with shit and get over it just as quickly. Like the Shane/Dana idea at Melinda’s plotty page, Shane has no job and he may just be in the right place at the right time. If Ivan is short-staffed and needing a hand this may be how things play out?

Shane: Yes! Not sure when, but hopefully soon. This just HAS to happen, omg yes.

Andrej: These two will practically be neighbors; and maybe a random Shane just moving into the complex and these two cross paths. Because dogs are like kids in that they are good conversation starters and distractions and all. And Andrej may be the one to get Shane to start turning his life around and get a job and all because… well he’s rather pitiful at the moment. Divine intervention of sorts!

EDIT: Disregard the neighbor bit as per PM. Yanno. All that.

Alix: No idea. Maybe the rest are okay for now, see how it all plays out.

I'd love to toss Hayden or Nick at Ivan. He seems really interesting and cool.

Hayden is a police officer, laid back and a pretty down to earth guy. He can be a bit goofy at times and is a mild flirt himself. I could easily see a mild crush on Ivan even if Ivan is strictly a ladies man ,lol. It could be an interesting friendship with awkward moments?

Nick on the other hand is a huge flirt. He's a movie star/producer who is new to town and looking to be entertained while living in Evergreen.

Ivan + Angela: well they both share a love of paint and painting which gives them a place to start some kind of friendship and she's be really interested in seeing/hearing about any original pieces he might be working on.
